A reception for the graduates,

commencement program.
Scholarships will be awarded to
approximately 30 students. These
scholarships range in amount from
$25 to $200, the average being

place of residence, and for six, on
preparation for the ministry or
full-time Christian service. One
scholarship is awarded for pro-ficiency
in journalism and four
for high-ranking zoology students.
Others rest on leadership quali-ties,
high scholastic standing, and
need. These scholarships are con-tributed
by individuals, churches,
and societies in the General Con-ference
area.
The Rev. Harold Christianson,
president of the Alumni Associa-tion,
will bring greetings from
that group, and President Lund-quist
will conclude the service
with a brief message to the stu-dents.
Music will be provided by the
male chorus under the direction of
the Rev. Nels Stjernstrom.

ACP Rates Clarion
Second class is the rating the Associated Collegiate Press recently
sent to the Clarion as a part of this organization's services. This is the
first time the Clarion has ever used the ACP bi-annual critique and rat-ing.
Because of this and the fact that this rating covers the Fall and
Winter quarter's issues, when the Clarion was undergoing several
development pains, the staff feels this is a good start in the right
direction. Second class is about average.
However, though the rating, determined on a point basis, placed the
Clarion in the "average" bracket, an additional sixty points would
have rated the Clarion in first class. This tells us that first class is
easily attainable with improvement on such areas as headlines, photo-graphs,
and coverage or as ACP put it, "tie up some loose ends."
The ACP critique manual quite thoroughly covers every general
phase of newspaper writing such as news coverage, news and
feature content, overall physical properties, headlines, photo-graphs,
typography and so on. In brief, the critique is a "compact,
comprehensive evaluation of the colleges's publication and a digest of
standards and suggestions for all such publications.
The ACP is affiliated with the Journalism school at the University
of Minnesota and, besides offering critical services, they supply each
of the collegiate papers who are members of ACP with a periodic
packet of material, feature and news, which is gleaned from all the
other members. The Clarion has made considerable use of this material
this year.
Windham, Olson to Speak
For Class Day, May 25
Class Day, 1955, will be observed at a convocation, Wednesday,
May 25, at 11 a.m. This day is set aside annually at the close of the
year • for formal recognition of scholastic achievement.
Valedictory addresses will be presented at this time by Albert
Windham, highest-ranking seminary senior, and Ronald Olson, who
takes corresponding honors in the college. The topic for Mr. Windham's
address is "Conscious Influence," and Mr. Olson will speak on "Discern-ing
Thought."
Zettela to de
Editat
D ear Faculty, Students and
Friends,
I would like to thank you very
sincerely for this wonderful sur-prise
that has made it possible
for us to go to Sweden. Your love
and kindness is deeply appreciated
and will never be forgotten. God
bless you all. Tack sa micket.
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. Eric Borgeson
Dear Editor,
As usual I was going to write
my bi-weekly cynical, nasty letter
to the Clarion, but as "luck would
have it," I forgot what I was go-ing
to write.
If it's all right with you I think
I'll change tactics and throw a
few bouquets to:
(a) Adeline Duncan, for the
story she wrote, published in the
Clarion;
(b) the Bethel first piano quar-tet,
whose hard work produced a
fine evening of entertainment;
(c) Miss Axeen and Mr. Guston
and the library staff who have
been misunderstood and mistreat-ed
beyond reason;
(d) the orators and poetry read-ers
who did commendable work in
the recent rhetoric competition;
(e) Little Man on Campus and
his highly academic barbs;
(f) the baseball team for beat-ing
Northwestern (twice!!!);
(g) E-day committee for ful-filling
a dream.
No Mo Despair
Convert
(ACP)—There was a musical
shindig in Washington, D.C. at the
British embassy and one of her
majesty's subjects brought along
his eight-year old son, who had
been living in Washington ever
since he was five. At the wind-up,
the orchestra played the tradition-al
"God Save The Queen," and the
youngster joined in the singing.
Only difference was that he sang
"My Country 'Tis Of Thee," in a
clear penerating soprano. When it
was over, one of the guests re-marked
in a crisp British accent:
"My word! The lad's been brain-washed!"

Exam Time
The last issue of the Clarion ran a letter that sharply criti-cized
the Bethel library staff for not keeping the library quiet.
There have been several reactions to this anonymous letter (and
the anonymity of all parties concerned shall be maintained). This
editorial then takes the form of an apology, perhaps, or a retrac-tion;
however, I wish to consider something far more basic.
My expressions flow from a pen that has also produced much
criticism. I too have worn out both visages of the Christian Janus.
I too have smirked at a student's blundering and laughed at his
stupidity, yet I have also looked on him who has lost or has been
nearly broken physically or spiritually—I even broke the bonds of
lethargy and done something for him.
What is this second, opposite face or attitude? I Corinthians
13 names it the great of all virtues. Some, perhaps many, theo-logians
hail this as God's greatest expression to mankind. Jim
Young spoke a recent Thursday on this in Seminary chapel. It is
love. Speech, learning, and actions minus love equals a tragic,
unconditional, devilish zero.
In two weeks Bethel will be quite diffused over half or more
of the United States in places of work and service from gas station
to business office. In two weeks there will begin an examination
period for harder and more revealing than the exams now being
taken. In two weeks there will begin a quarter that will reveal
how much you did learn at Bethel this year. How will that
quarter's grades turn out ? Consideration, kindness, patience, love
—pull for a straight A average.

Editor's note: This is an original story written by Miss Duncan as
an assignment for a course of advanced composition.
by Adeline Duncan
Story thus far:
Catullus, the head guard of the tomb where Jesus lay, had come
to the tomb four nights in a row trying to move the stone that
covered the tomb. He couldn't. Hamar, an old man, observed
his frequent visits since he too visits the tomb to worship Christ,
his risen Lord. Hamar asked Catullus what did happen that first
Easter morning.
"Alright," Catullus said at last. "Guess I'll tell you." He wiped
his brow. "Well — it was a pretty long night and we were all relieved
when morning finally came. But before we knew what happened, the
ground started shaking! Some of the men ran, but I — I couldn't seem
to move ! Then — and here's the part that's been eating at me — a
man, one man, who was not nearly my size, came and rolled that stone
away from the tomb!" Catullus pointed to the huge boulder beside them.
"What happened then?"
"Then this fellow sat on the stone — just sat there! There was a
peculiar bright light around him — it was so bright that it almost
blinded us! Then something happened that I can't understand. I have
never fainted before, but I guess that's what must have happened! Any-way
all of us that stayed — blacked out! It was a strange thing — sort
of mystical!" Catullus covered his face and paused for a long time.
"When we woke up, the fellow was gone — Jesus was too! The
grave clothes were lying on the ground. All the fellows looked just
like I felt — like I'd seen a miracle!"
Hamar rose to his feet. "Why didn't you tell that to the priests ?"
"We did! But they wouldn't believe us. At least they didn't want
to! They insisted that we had been dreaming!"
"None of them believed you ?"
"Oh, there were a few old ones who did, but they were outnum-bered."
"And so they gave you money to say the disciples stole the body."
"Yeah. And that puts me in pretty deep. Today I bought a villa
with the money!" Catullus rubbed the back of his neck. "That's why I
didn't want to tell anyone." He thought a minute. "But you know —
telling you has cleared up a lot of things for me!"
"How's that ?"
"Well — I kept thinking about that one fellow rolling back the
stone. I figured if anyone could move the stone it would be me. And
I can't budge it!"
"So you kept coming back here to try and prove to yourself it
wasn't a miracle. What have you decided ?"
"I guess I can't keep trying to fool myself." Catullus sighed heavily.
Hamar spoke softly, "Why are you afraid to believe it was a
miracle ?"
There was a long pause.
"I guess I was afraid because of what it might do to me. If I be-lieved
it was a miracle then I would have to look at the whole thing
in a different light. It would be a dangerous thing to lie and say a
miracle never happened!"
"Yes, I see what you mean!"
"Then if I told what really happened, and it got around Jerusalem,
I'd probably be demoted. And my whole company would laugh me right
out of Jerusalem!" Catullus thought for a while. "Then there's the
priests — they're so powerful. They'd be on my neck in a minute! My
wife might even be in danger!"
"And too, you are afraid of the kind of man God would make out
of you."
Catullus nodded. "I guess so. But I don't know why I want to
hang on to what I am now. Being anything else would be better." He
looked away. "I haven't been the best husband! And I hang around
with a cheap dirty gang — yes, I know what they are! But they are the
only friends I have!" Catullus picked up a pebble and tossed it away.
"The question seems to be, does becoming one of Jesus' followers really
have something better to offer ?" He looked again into Hamar's eyes.
Something in those eyes assured him that it did.
"All right," Catullus said finally, "I'll listen."
Hamar smiled and began to speak.

Now that we've seen the campus for almost a whole school year,
how much of the campus are you familiar with? Merely to test your
ingenuity and powers of observation, we've searched out a few things
of interest that do exist here on campus. If you get them all right, you
get a free trip to Sweden; nine or eight, you're an old pro from way
back; seven or six, what I mean is, you're average; five or four, you're
a pan dandy; three, two or one, hang it, you've had it.

Miss Bisg rove
Has Scholarship
Miss Mildred Bisgrove, assistant
professor of music, recently re-ceived
a scholarship to Columbia
University for further study this
summer in the field of music.
The scholarship is awarded to
teachers whose field is not close-ly
related to religion. However,
the purpose of this summer's stud-ies
is research into the relation-ship
that does exist between, in
Miss Bisgrove's case, music and
religion.
Slide Showing
At McDonough
Kodachrome slides of the work
of the International Christian Lep-rosy
Mission will be shown at Mc-
Donough Homes Community Bldg.,
1544 Timberlake Rd., at 7:00 p.m.
tonight. The Reverend Mr. Harold
C. Etter, mission director, will re-port
from his world tour how "God
is bringing physical healing
through the new drug, Avlosul-phon,
to families in India, the
Philippines, Africa, and South
America."
Charles E. Waring, middleman
in the seminary, is superintendent
of the Sunday school at McDon-ough
Homes and has been very
active in that capacity. Numerous
Bethel students have participated
in religious work there.
Mr. Waring strongly urges all
who are interested in Missions
and can attend the showing of
these slides and Mr. Etter's report.
Oh yes, I missed one there in
May. Gerald Behrnes and Marilyn
J. Anderson in Cadillac, Michigan.
In July those who will pledge
their troth are Dave Clark and
Helen J. Peterson in Grove City,
Minnesota; Don Fuller and Donna
J. Anderson in Montrose, South
Dakota; and Carl Sandberg and
Fern Hansen in Duluth, Minne-sota.
And now I dimly see seven
more couples saying "I do." They
are John Douhan and Beverly
Pearson in Dorchester, Massachu-setts;
Dick Varberg and Elenor
Swartz in West Orange, New Jer-sey;
Tom Warden and Marlene
Anderson in Joliet, Illinois; Al
Glenn and Barbara Olander in

Bethel Routs
Northwestern 10-3
Bethel experienced their first
night game of the year beating
Northwestern Schools 10-3 on May
16. Al Stahnke had the game well
under control from the start and
allowed only three hits. Two of
Northwestern's runs were unearn-ed
and the third scored when
Stahnke walked a man with bases
loaded.
Bethel, having scored once in the
first inning, added two more runs
in the third on Tierney's triple and
singles by Burleson and Wes Lar-son.
The seventh inning proved to
be Bethel's biggest run-producing
frame, when consecutive base hits
by Dale Larson, Tierney, and
Brunzell started things off. Be-fore
the inning was over Bethel
scored four more runs. They also
added three more runs in the
ninth.
(by Cy Lent)
It is not advisable to sleep at
third base, but if it is necessary
it should be done with tact. Be-tween
naps one should offer a few
signals to whoever accidentally
happens to be looking. One can
wave his arms, scratch himself
numerously, tug at his cap,
stretch, cough, sneeze, blow his
nose or jump up and down. These
signals can mean respectively (a)
you are signalling to a low flying
plane (b) you have fleas (c) your
cap is stuck on your head (d) you
just woke up (e) you are sick (f)
you have hayfever (g) you got a
foul ball caught in your nose (h)
take three and hit to center, res-pectively.

Impressive Showing
Bethel's track team showed well
in a triangular meet with Duluth
Branch, University of Minnesota,
and the Hamline Pipers May 14
although they did finish last, seven
points behind the Pipers. The final
score was Duluth 68, Hamline
45 1/2, and Bethel 38 1/2.
Leading the way for the Royals
was Thomason with a first in the
broad jump and seconds in the
pole vault and high hurdles. Mac-
Donell placed first in the discus
and second in the shot put. Stipe
scored the only other first for the
thinclads with the top jump in the
pole vault.
Others placing were Yost with
two seconds, Thomas with one
third, Dahlquist with one fourth,
Erickson with one fourth and the
relay team — Seaquist, Cedar,
Geiger, Erickson — with a second.
time. But it looks good to the
major league scouts.
Then, it is invariably best to
have the pitcher steal as many
bases as possible, because he prob-ably
has a collection at home. And
you can always have runners steal
third, because the catcher just
might swallow the ball in the ex-citement.
One must always hope.
Without ceasing.
And when one of your runners
gets thrown out by seventy-five
feet stealing because he didn't get
the jump on the pitcher, it is best
to replace him, provided he is an
infielder, with a spare catcher or
bat boy and then search out some
bonehead remaining on the bench
to agree with you.
Bemidji Coasts
By Royals 8-5
Dunning Field provided the
backdrop on May 10 as Bethel
lost to Bemidji State Teachers
College 8-5. Frank Burleson pitch-ed
exceptionally fine baseball for
the first two innings, striking out
five of the first six batters. How-ever,
in the third inning he aggra-vated
a back muscle and lost his
effectiveness. Bemidji then began
hitting, and, combined with some
Bethel errors, scored in every inn-ing
except the ninth. Brunzell re-lieved
Burleson in the eighth and
pitched good baseball. In the ninth,
Bethel had a short-lived rally scor-ing
three runs on some timely hit-ting
by Baurle and Brunzell.
Track Squad Places
First With Concordia
Bethel's thinclads turned in their
finest performance of the season
by taking four firsts and tying
Concordia for first place in a four
school track meet at Central Sta-dium
Wednesday, May 11.
John Yost took individual hon-ors
by taking firsts in the 100
yard dash and in the 220 yard low
hurdles. At the same time Ron
MacDonell took a first in the dis-cus
while limping Don Stipe tied
for a first in the pole vault.
The Bethel 880 relay team won
a first with Dave Seaquist, John
Cedar, Ray Geiger and Yost tak-ing
the honors for the Royals.
Team points for the meet ended
up with Bethel and Concordia both
having 47. While Bethel and Con-cordia
tied for first, Rochester and
Northwestern took third and
fourth places respectively.
Tennis Team
Triumphs Twice
The tennis team travelled down
to Mankato May 7 to beat Beth-any
5-1. On Tuesday, May 10, the
squad also defeated Northwestern
5-2. Mesko, Lee, Edlund, and Sand-burg
won their singles matches
with Lee and Fischer winning
their doubles match. Bethel and
Northwestern are in the process
of finishing a match. The score to
date is tied, 2-2.
Bethel Splits Two
With Bethany
Bethel's baseball team won the
first game of a double header with
Bethany on May 7 by 7-5, thanks
to Burleson's fine pitching, and
then lost the second game 7-6.
Burleson was almost unhittable,
allowing only three safeties and
striking out fifteen. Christenson,
catching in place of Brunzell, was
the hitting star of the second game
with a double and a triple. But
defensive lapses gave Bethany the
game. They scored the winning
run in the seventh on a walk, an
error, and a hit.

ST. PAUL—May 20—(BNS)—Extensive research con-ducted
at the Bethel Student Center reveals that all coin and
paper money spent there in recent weeks is dirty and germ-laden.
To correct this situation, it is recommended that all
students and faculty members at Bethel endeavor to spend
their money as rapidly as possible by purchasing cones and
malts made with BETHEL DAIRY-FREEZE—the perfect
cooler for these hot summer days.

ACP Rates Clarion
Second class is the rating the Associated Collegiate Press recently
sent to the Clarion as a part of this organization's services. This is the
first time the Clarion has ever used the ACP bi-annual critique and rat-ing.
Because of this and the fact that this rating covers the Fall and
Winter quarter's issues, when the Clarion was undergoing several
development pains, the staff feels this is a good start in the right
direction. Second class is about average.
However, though the rating, determined on a point basis, placed the
Clarion in the "average" bracket, an additional sixty points would
have rated the Clarion in first class. This tells us that first class is
easily attainable with improvement on such areas as headlines, photo-graphs,
and coverage or as ACP put it, "tie up some loose ends."
The ACP critique manual quite thoroughly covers every general
phase of newspaper writing such as news coverage, news and
feature content, overall physical properties, headlines, photo-graphs,
typography and so on. In brief, the critique is a "compact,
comprehensive evaluation of the colleges's publication and a digest of
standards and suggestions for all such publications.
The ACP is affiliated with the Journalism school at the University
of Minnesota and, besides offering critical services, they supply each
of the collegiate papers who are members of ACP with a periodic
packet of material, feature and news, which is gleaned from all the
other members. The Clarion has made considerable use of this material
this year.

Dear Editor,
As usual I was going to write
my bi-weekly cynical, nasty letter
to the Clarion, but as "luck would
have it," I forgot what I was go-ing
to write.
If it's all right with you I think
I'll change tactics and throw a
few bouquets to:
(a) Adeline Duncan, for the
story she wrote, published in the
Clarion;
(b) the Bethel first piano quar-tet,
whose hard work produced a
fine evening of entertainment;
(c) Miss Axeen and Mr. Guston
and the library staff who have
been misunderstood and mistreat-ed
beyond reason;
(d) the orators and poetry read-ers
who did commendable work in
the recent rhetoric competition;
(e) Little Man on Campus and
his highly academic barbs;
(f) the baseball team for beat-ing
Northwestern (twice!!!);
(g) E-day committee for ful-filling
a dream.

(ACP)—There was a musical
shindig in Washington, D.C. at the
British embassy and one of her
majesty's subjects brought along
his eight-year old son, who had
been living in Washington ever
since he was five. At the wind-up,
the orchestra played the tradition-al
"God Save The Queen," and the
youngster joined in the singing.
Only difference was that he sang
"My Country 'Tis Of Thee," in a
clear penerating soprano. When it
was over, one of the guests re-marked
in a crisp British accent:
"My word! The lad's been brain-washed!"

Exam Time
The last issue of the Clarion ran a letter that sharply criti-cized
the Bethel library staff for not keeping the library quiet.
There have been several reactions to this anonymous letter (and
the anonymity of all parties concerned shall be maintained). This
editorial then takes the form of an apology, perhaps, or a retrac-tion;
however, I wish to consider something far more basic.
My expressions flow from a pen that has also produced much
criticism. I too have worn out both visages of the Christian Janus.
I too have smirked at a student's blundering and laughed at his
stupidity, yet I have also looked on him who has lost or has been
nearly broken physically or spiritually—I even broke the bonds of
lethargy and done something for him.
What is this second, opposite face or attitude? I Corinthians
13 names it the great of all virtues. Some, perhaps many, theo-logians
hail this as God's greatest expression to mankind. Jim
Young spoke a recent Thursday on this in Seminary chapel. It is
love. Speech, learning, and actions minus love equals a tragic,
unconditional, devilish zero.
In two weeks Bethel will be quite diffused over half or more
of the United States in places of work and service from gas station
to business office. In two weeks there will begin an examination
period for harder and more revealing than the exams now being
taken. In two weeks there will begin a quarter that will reveal
how much you did learn at Bethel this year. How will that
quarter's grades turn out ? Consideration, kindness, patience, love
—pull for a straight A average.

Story thus far:
Catullus, the head guard of the tomb where Jesus lay, had come
to the tomb four nights in a row trying to move the stone that
covered the tomb. He couldn't. Hamar, an old man, observed
his frequent visits since he too visits the tomb to worship Christ,
his risen Lord. Hamar asked Catullus what did happen that first
Easter morning.
"Alright," Catullus said at last. "Guess I'll tell you." He wiped
his brow. "Well — it was a pretty long night and we were all relieved
when morning finally came. But before we knew what happened, the
ground started shaking! Some of the men ran, but I — I couldn't seem
to move ! Then — and here's the part that's been eating at me — a
man, one man, who was not nearly my size, came and rolled that stone
away from the tomb!" Catullus pointed to the huge boulder beside them.
"What happened then?"
"Then this fellow sat on the stone — just sat there! There was a
peculiar bright light around him — it was so bright that it almost
blinded us! Then something happened that I can't understand. I have
never fainted before, but I guess that's what must have happened! Any-way
all of us that stayed — blacked out! It was a strange thing — sort
of mystical!" Catullus covered his face and paused for a long time.
"When we woke up, the fellow was gone — Jesus was too! The
grave clothes were lying on the ground. All the fellows looked just
like I felt — like I'd seen a miracle!"
Hamar rose to his feet. "Why didn't you tell that to the priests ?"
"We did! But they wouldn't believe us. At least they didn't want
to! They insisted that we had been dreaming!"
"None of them believed you ?"
"Oh, there were a few old ones who did, but they were outnum-bered."
"And so they gave you money to say the disciples stole the body."
"Yeah. And that puts me in pretty deep. Today I bought a villa
with the money!" Catullus rubbed the back of his neck. "That's why I
didn't want to tell anyone." He thought a minute. "But you know —
telling you has cleared up a lot of things for me!"
"How's that ?"
"Well — I kept thinking about that one fellow rolling back the
stone. I figured if anyone could move the stone it would be me. And
I can't budge it!"
"So you kept coming back here to try and prove to yourself it
wasn't a miracle. What have you decided ?"
"I guess I can't keep trying to fool myself." Catullus sighed heavily.
Hamar spoke softly, "Why are you afraid to believe it was a
miracle ?"
There was a long pause.
"I guess I was afraid because of what it might do to me. If I be-lieved
it was a miracle then I would have to look at the whole thing
in a different light. It would be a dangerous thing to lie and say a
miracle never happened!"
"Yes, I see what you mean!"
"Then if I told what really happened, and it got around Jerusalem,
I'd probably be demoted. And my whole company would laugh me right
out of Jerusalem!" Catullus thought for a while. "Then there's the
priests — they're so powerful. They'd be on my neck in a minute! My
wife might even be in danger!"
"And too, you are afraid of the kind of man God would make out
of you."
Catullus nodded. "I guess so. But I don't know why I want to
hang on to what I am now. Being anything else would be better." He
looked away. "I haven't been the best husband! And I hang around
with a cheap dirty gang — yes, I know what they are! But they are the
only friends I have!" Catullus picked up a pebble and tossed it away.
"The question seems to be, does becoming one of Jesus' followers really
have something better to offer ?" He looked again into Hamar's eyes.
Something in those eyes assured him that it did.
"All right," Catullus said finally, "I'll listen."
Hamar smiled and began to speak.

Now that we've seen the campus for almost a whole school year,
how much of the campus are you familiar with? Merely to test your
ingenuity and powers of observation, we've searched out a few things
of interest that do exist here on campus. If you get them all right, you
get a free trip to Sweden; nine or eight, you're an old pro from way
back; seven or six, what I mean is, you're average; five or four, you're
a pan dandy; three, two or one, hang it, you've had it.
